Castle Craven, a fortress sitting on the western coast of the Vostarian Empire, keeps the Empire safe from would be invaders. It was originally called Praxus Castle before the Northern War.

Location
Found on the north western coast of the Vostarian Empire, it is also north of Crow's Perch, west of Kavala's Keep, and south of the kingdom of Zalenica.

Structure
A dilapidated fort that has been left in disarray. Towers are left crumbling, the gate is rusted and can barely close shut, and most of the wood is rotting away.

History
Built in 1096 AS during the Northern Wars, it was supposed to house a legion inside to fend off invaders. However, despite their legate's efforts it fell and the legion fled in fear of being killed as the gate crashed open. The legate and his guard stayed to fight while cursing those that fled and cursing the land he was ordered to protect. Little did he know that emotions and curses are strongly tied together, and his vile cries were heard in the dark. The land became rotten, all that grew here withered away after a days time of harvest. Wood became molded and damp, unable to be used for proper structures. Soon it was named Castle Craven after the events. A legion was soon formed for criminals that had the choice of either join the Legion or being put into slavery, and the Penal Legion found its home at Castle Craven.
